Well, I’m still hoping for a miracle.
vows to carry on?
He’s in second place and was leading the delegate race. the media really likes to rush these things.
Save your money, Flipper.
691,660
vs
596,263
Another silver for Mitt. If Florida was like the other states and not winner take all, Romney would still be the delegate leader. As it stands:
Delegate Count: McCain 97, Romney 74 (1,191 needed to win-2169 delegates left to be selected after today)
Yeah, me too. I am glad he’s not out as it was close. There may be a lot of close wins and losses coming. I don’t think it’s a given that McCain wins, and Romney should go and stick it out. He could wind up with the most delegates.
You KNEW it was coming...
Even though Florida DOES NOT COUNT for Democrats, the Media is spinning it like Obama is now BEHIND again!!
REMEMBER...
It isn’t about anything other than RATINGS for most networks...
How much cash does Mccain have left?
Great. Perhaps the rest of America is more well informed than Florida. McCain/Hillary - watch out!
“Wopell, I’m still hoping for a miracle.”
A miracle is what it will take. Let’s hope.
Look at the bright side, we’ll get to hear Rush railing in futility against one rino while supporting another.
It amazes me how quickly the media want to rush to crown a nominee. This is not over. Not by a long shot.
My hope is that GOP primary voters will remember Bob Dole. McCain is the Bob Dole of 2008; we nominate him at our peril.
This is silly. There are still over 1000 delegates to be chosen. No one is the clear winner yet. Yes, McCain is the frontrunner now, but he hasn't won it yet, not by a longshot.
“Romney vows to carry on with campaign”
As well he should.
No idea on how much he has on hand, sounds like he spent a lot less than Mitt in Florida.. but still may be in need of major dinaro.. lots of states to go.. may CFR bite him in the arse in the end.
Mitt Romney needs to get rid of that Bar Sinister tie. Bar Sinister ties are those in which the stripes run left to right as opposed to Bar Dexter ties that run right to left. Bar Sinister ties are one of the things that killed John Kerry’s candidacy. I’m hoping Mitt will come to grips with this soon because, as an Arizonan, I have had all I can stand of my Senior Senator, John McCain.
I worry that the media will pump up McCain and then people will accept him just because he’s the “front runner”, which will screw us in the end. It’s not over, but the propaganda machine is still intact.

I am not a Romney supporter but I agree this is premature.
Romney has his own money and Super Tuesday is very TV intensive and thus expensive.
There is this..
not 100% current but..

After nine months of fundraising, the candidates for president in 2008 have already raised about $420 million. This presidential money chase seems to be on track to collect an unprecedented $1 billion total. By some predictions, the eventual nominees will need to raise $500 million apiece to compete—a record sum. To find out where all this money is coming from, explore the options to the left. Year-end reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by Jan. 31.
